I dreamed of a myrtle tree

I dreamed of a myrtle tree

that was blooming as I have never seen before.

The night has passed

but my dream will not dissipate.

What is this colorful little bouquet to me now?

What is this wreath of violets to me now?

I wish it were of myrtle

and that he were leading me to the dance.

To the church and then to the dance,

and then Heaven would be open to me!

Oh darling, dear darling,

how long must I still wait?
